grooming

Dang, yall shouldn't have visited at once like that!

I came across Hugh Conway's blog on the interweb. He certainly has some interesting thoughts about grooming: http://arthurkade.com/2009/04/21/grooming/

I thought about it as I just renewed my DL, but I'm going to stick with a passport. I don't know if passports have these now, but the Enhanced DL has an RFID in it . I'm not psyched about that because of this kind of stuff: [video:youtube]-XXaqraF7pI It might be tin-foil hat material, but I'm not happy with the tech in general. I don't think the E-DL has as much protection designed in as the Passport does. At anyrate, E-DL vs. Passport, I'm choosing Passport because it will most likely allow travel in more countries (not just Canada) with less hassle.

I don't see how this is such a big deal. You might just want to ask that maybe Stone Gardens could have people describe their missing items before they claim at the lost and found. I accidentally left something there once and they were casual about letting me pick it out of their Lost and Found stash. Definitely not worthy of you posting it in all forums of the board. Your story has a lot of flair and drama though. I like the part where the guy flails. Everyone knows that unethical people can't climb, right? Anyway, I don't think Stone Gardens has cornered the market on punks. Glad you found you got your chalkbag back. If he did poach it from Lost and Found, keep in mind that another person found it and turned it in.

Yeah I got a CAJ DVD with all CAJs from 1907 to 2008 on it in the mail yesterday. I forgot I had ordered it way back when.

I just got Alpinist 26 out of the mailbox. Format looks indistinguishable from the previous issues.

I am loving it! dah dat dat dat dah! we got one of the best rotations in baseball right now.

Sorry Off...I just wanted to add this final note: A note from one of the owners of the board: These my my thoughts and aren't necessarily those of Timmy or Jon. It is sad to see someone like Ben vowing to not send people to this board. This place has always been a little bit of "Wild West" and we are obviously more permissive than some other forums in terms of moderation. One thing that is hard to "moderate" is respect. Thats part of what make CC.com a fun place. I'll admit I've participated in poking fun at people, it can be a good laugh. And there are some that really don't give a rip about the site or anyone here. Again, since we are permissive we usually don't ban people for being nilihists. The strength of this board is in its numbers. The number of people sharing information. The number of people who on Monday after a weekend in the hills can tell you exactly what a routes condition is. Then then are those who are just more knowledgeable than you are. If you show them a bit of respect, they'll stick around. They'll also observe when you treat their friends with respect. And without them we are less. So this is a request. I know what this thread reperesented was a loaded question. People had their opinions about leaving gear on a route. But its no reason to be disrepectful. Show some respect. If you want to dabble in disrespect, take it to the spray forums. Keep your insults and tuanting out of the main forums. The majority of people come to CC.com for climbing information, not to see someone drug through the mud for posting a legitimate concern. So if you care about CC.com as a resource for climbing, show a little respect. Show respect for those that might have an opinion different then yours. We have an awesome, living, resource here. But everytime you turn a climber away from CC.com with disrespect, you lessen the site. Thanks, /porter

Howz da wedder tomorrow?

I agree it was lame that someone took his draws. But the lesson should be learned as well that if you leave your gear up on the wall, there are plenty of people that have no problem with bootying it. Bad form or not, just be aware of that next time and don't leave it on the wall unless you can live without it. And don't be surprised when it goes missing if you do.

last night i got up in my sleep and started building something necessary. i got a cardboard box and some other things from the basement. apparently i gave up and went back to bed. i can barely remember what the dream was about, but I know I had to urgently build whatever it was. just fyi
